IMO, explains your confusion over the facts. That site left off a whole lot of Dr. Horn's testimony, which I'd encourage you to read/watch for yourself. Here's a small part of it:
** in these comments the "holes in the skull" are the entrance wound and the exit. The exit he's talking about is where the bullet went from traveling through the frontal lobe of the brain and then shattered through the horizontal bone (anterior fossa) that separates the upper part of the skull (where the brain is) from the lower part (where mouth/throat/nose are) before ending in the area of lower left cheek. That horizontal bone plate had a bullet hole in it, basically, and that couldn't be there if the bullet didn't enter the brain itself. Hitting and going through that bone probably changed the trajectory as well, so drawing a straight line from the entrance to the cheek is not necessarily the true angle of the shot.
Another (of many) thing that those people like to ignore is that there was no bleeding with the bullet wound, but there was on all the other wounds and quite a bit of it. Horn can't *prove* sequence - ME's don't do that, they observe, report and offer opinion - but he does say the most obvious reason for the lack of bleeding in all areas of the bullet's path was most likely because he had bled out or was deceased by the time he was shot. He also says of the 3 more serious wounds, the one to the chest is the only one that would have allowed movement, the throat and the gunshot would have incapacitated him within seconds. Please read or watch Dr. Horn's testimony rather than depend on a very obviously biased and manipulated version of the facts that person wants you to believe...
eta: just read the old dura mater intact comment ^. That obviously confused him when the question was asked, and when he checked his report he said it was obviously a typo. Had to be, and the above says why. The bullet could not have perforated the anterior fossa if it had not entered the brain, and it could not have entered the brain without perforating the dura mater.
Yes!! Thank you!
